First a special Happy Thanksgiving and a may all our blessings be counted today. Many years ago some pilgrims came to a new world and it was not easy. They had to begin everything anew and left behind family and friends. We look up to God and say Thanks for all He has given us.
Now it is a national holiday and turkey is on most peoples mind.
But when I think about given thanks to God, my mind goes back 20 years when I first had an experience of God as Light. My life at that time was a mess and now 20 years later I knew God had a plan for me. Not always clear at the beginning, but I had faith and knew we lived in times of change. There is so much I have written in the past few years that I could fill a couple books.
I write first for myself and as a way of documenting my thoughts and just for the joy of putting things in digital. Sometime I write and wonder who is really writing. I see myself as an instrument for God and sometimes we just have to say what is on our mind.
These past few days I have been thinking about the descent of God to Earth.
So many people have had experiences of God in the past and He has promised that one day He will return. Today I had an email exchange with a fellow Raja Yogi and we were discussing this topic.
Why have fear in telling your friends the truth about God and how He comes. Sooner or later each soul will understand and Truth will stand by itself. When I teach the Raja Yoga Course, I am very clear and honest. My job is simple, to present the truth about you the soul, God’s role as the Teacher and Loving Father and the time we are in, a Confluence Age, an end of a cycle and a new World to come.
In the Gita it says, God Speaks... But how does he speak? Can it be true that God comes to earth like a thief in the night and teaches the souls that will be instruments to create a new world?
In India we see images of Krishna playing a flute or Murli, (Hindi for flute). All the gopes and gopis, lovers of God come running to hear the music of Krishna. What if I told you I have met the soul who is the reincarnation of Krishna. You many not believe it, but for me it is my truth. Reading the murli’s and going to Mt Abu to experience God first hand has been my saving grace.
So my question, when do I tell the world the truth of what I know?
What if I told you that for the past 20 years, I have had a personal experience with God? He has changed my life in ways you would never imagine. Just ask my parents. They say if it wasn’t for the Brahma Kumaris, I would be dead. That is the truth.
So let’s go back to the Bible.
The last of the 66 books in the Bible, the Revelation, speaks about the end of the world and Judgment Day where humans have to do their reckoning, after which they will go to Paradise or Hell. For me- this is world is Hell and Heaven is something we create now with our pure thoughts. In a cycle of time, we return to perfection. As is the past will become the future, and the future will become the past. Time is eternal, as we souls are eternal. Energy is in constant change it can never be created or destroyed. We are spiritual energy.
In my studies of Raja Yoga we teach time is reaching a climax. Just look at the situation of the world, so many wars, nature out of balance and the threat of a nuclear explosion very real. Just see what the military is planning. Read more at Global Research.
Is the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?
Will the US launch "Mini-nukes" against Iran in Retaliation for Tehran's "Non-compliance"?
by Michel Chossudovsky
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20060222&articleId=2032
The new nuclear doctrine, however, goes beyond preemptive acts of "self-defense", it calls for "anticipatory action" using nuclear weapons against a "rogue enemy" which allegedly plans to develop WMD at some undefined future date:
Responsible security planning requires preparation for threats that are possible, though perhaps unlikely today. The lessons of military history remain clear: unpredictable, irrational conflicts occur. Military forces must prepare to counter weapons and capabilities that exist or will exist in the near term even if no immediate likely scenarios for war are at hand. To maximize deterrence of WMD use, it is essential US forces prepare to use nuclear weapons effectively and that US forces are determined to employ nuclear weapons if necessary to prevent or retaliate against WMD use.
Nukes would serve to prevent a non-existent WMD program (e.g. Iran) prior to its development. This twisted formulation goes far beyond the premises of the 2001 Nuclear Posture Review and NPSD 17. which state that the US can retaliate with nuclear weapons if attacked with WMD. --End Quote--
So if you were a prophet and have seen the future what would you do?
The big question on everyone’s mind is when, what date. God can not tell us when the war will begin, but He does give warning signals. I have been getting these signals and as a writer, I put it down in digital. This is my life story. Only once in the whole cycle do you get to experience a direct relationship with God. He gives you a pen and says, write your whole story, a story of the angels, the deities and the Brahmin family, a story of you and me. We create our whole future now, by the love we share, the wisdom we acquire, the purity of the soul and the service we do.
Jesus himself once said "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matthew 16:28).
I have always thought about the quote in the Bible where God says He will come like a thief in the night and very few will recognize him.
.. Joel 2:1-9: ..for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;[...] they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. "
.. Matthew 24:43: "But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up."
.. Revelation 3:3: If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
.. Revelation 16:15: "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth [...]"
.. 1st. Thessalonians 5:2: "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night".
Do I want any of my friends to say to me, hey Lucho, Prakash you never told me God was teaching you. Well now you know and the descent of God is for all to question.
So I did a search on Google and put ..Descent of God.. This came up.

History
The Divine Descent of God
Once Dada was sitting in a satsang (spiritual gathering) which he had arranged in honor of his guru. In between he got up and went to his room, which he had never done in his life, for it was a sign of disrespect. The following is the description of one of the persons who had the good fortune of being there.
..The eyes of Dada had become completely red, as if a red light was glowing inside him. His whole face had become red, and even the room was now illumined, with reddish, otherworldly glow. And something began to happen inside me too! I felt bodiless! How can I describe it? I was there and yet I wasn’t. I was simply light. My mind felt clearer than it ever had been. I heard a sound from above. It was as if through the mouth of Dada, Someone else was speaking! That voice was so very quiet at first, then it grew louder and louder. It was stunning, not frightening, but simply awe-inspiring. The voice spoke thus:
Nijanand Rupam Shivoham Shivoham
Gyan Swarupam Shivoham Shivoham
Prakash Swarupam Shivoham Shivoham
Nijanand Swarup, Gyan Swarup, Prakash Swarup
Translation:
I am the Blissful Self, I am Shiva; I am Shiva ...
I am the Knowledgeful Self, I am Shiva; I am Shiva ..
I am the Luminous Self, I am Shiva; I am Shiva ..
I am the Form of Self, the Form of Knowledge, the Form of Light.
To this day, I cannot forget that voice, nor that scene. The atmosphere was electric, more than realm and my condition of feeling as if without a body is still alive in my memory. As soon as Dada opened his eyes, he started looking around with great wonder. Whatever he had seen had jolted to the core of his being.
During that time, Dada saw tremendous Light and Power which told, “You have to make such a world.” And he had the vision of an altogether new world. But he did not know how that world was to be made. How shall he be able to make such a world?
Dada fell into deep, deep thought. He immersed himself in the work of solving the mystery of this unparalleled event. ..Who was that? What kind of power could give him such visions, such knowledge, such self-realization? Gradually he unraveled the logic and the implications of it all; the secret was unveiled to his astounded intellect.
Based on our real life experiences we clearly know that it was God, the Supreme Soul, Shiva, Himself, had entered into his body. It was God who had revealed the truth about the coming destruction, and of the establishment of the heavenly world which would then follow. And it was God Himself who had given the sign that he, Dada, was to be His medium and the engine for creating such a divine world.
I have seen this world to come in visions and dreams. It is very real and my own personal experience. You may not accept all I have to say, but the important thing is to have an unlimited mind and open heart.
So there you have it, the first in a series of articles about God’s Descent on Earth.
I give thanks for the chance to reveal an open secret...
Many blessings, much love and Happy Thanks Giving,
Lucho ~ Prakash

Kogi Message of Peace
The KOGI, Lost Tribe with a Message of Peace
By Luis Mejia (L CONDOR)
Around 20 years ago I saw an amazing video called from the “Heart of the World.” It was about a unique Indigenous community that lived in Northern Colombia who say they are keeping the world in balance. I was so impressed because they are still living with the same spiritual values and traditions of their ancestors, but the ecological warning the Kogi’s shared touched a nerve.
I was born in Bogota, Colombia in 1959 and came to the US in 1960, so I never had a chance to really understand my roots and my Colombian heritage. When I saw how the Kogi lived I was determined to find a way to meet them. The only problem was they don’t like tourists and getting into their land is very difficult, not to mention that today there is para-military control, a FRAC guerrillas army that has riches beyond description and senseless killing. 40 year civil war that has no end in sight.
In May 1995 I moved to Brazil to work for Ford Motor Company to promote an internal communications campaign called Ford 2000 in Latin America. Then I spent 1 year at the World Headquarters in Detroit working in the International Public Affairs covering Asia, India and Latin America. Life was good but deep down I had a need to understand my roots. In April of 1997, I went to Colombia on a business trip and met some people who had just returned from the Sierra Nevada where the Kogi live. I was having major synchronicities about the Kogi and my heart kept feeling I needed to find a way to communicate with them.
In June of 1997 a lifelong dream came true for me. I had just took a leave of absence from my job at Ford and decided to go to an Indigenous conference in the Amazon region of Colombia. It was called the “2nd International Gathering of Priest and Elders of the Americas.” When I arrived I started helping with the logistics of the conference. We were expecting about 300 elders from more than 13 countries. That event changed my life and I made a promise to my Kogi brothers that one day I would return and help them out. I have been back to the sacred mountain 7 times and each time the situation gets mote intense.
This past summer ( April-Sept 2006) I have been living in Bogota planning the final details of the Kogi film and media campaign. I had a chance to go to the Sierra and meet the elders in charge and understand th real needs of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the people suffering there.
The campaign will have 3 key objectives:
* To raise awareness of the critical situation the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is in and the humanitarian crisis of the Native Peoples including the Kogi, Arhuaco and Wiwa.
* Bring medical supplies and smiles to Children and Hospitals in Santa Marta and Bogota. Partnership with Airline Ambassadors www.airlineamb.org
Create Music & Films 4 Peace- Concert for Harmony,
Funds raised go to buy land and communications equipment --Juanes, Carlos Vives, Santana will be invited. Partnership with Daniel Pearl Foundation, Harmony for Humanity www.danielpearl.org
The civil and drug war going on in Colombia right now has taken a toll on the native population and people are being killed without justice and deep fear. The Kogi and all the tribes in the Sierra are asking for help and the time has come to hear the call.
A little history …..
More than 500 years ago the Kogi fled high into a sacred mountain in Northern Colombia called the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Spanish had arrived and the message was not good. They believe the Sierra Nevada to be the “Mother” and the “Heart of the World.” The Sierra Nevada, in the shape of a pyramid is where the Andes chain begins or ends, depending on your perspective. If you look at the Andes, the Sierra is the crown chakra or top most part of South America. It is like a spinal column and the sacred mountain is the 3 eye. The Kogi are unique among the world’s Indigenous cultures because they were never conquered by the Spaniards. They are said to have memory of the beginning of time and remember the rampage the conquistadors brought to their region in 1498.
In 1988 the Kogi allowed a BBC journalist Alain Ereira to film a documentary about their culture. This was a historic event. No western journalists have been allowed to return and the Kogi remained silent observing the ecological destruction they have seen from their mountain-top. Very few Colombians dare enter into their territory and few know they exist.
In June of 1997, I was invited to visit the Kogi. This created a bond of friendship and trust. They are now ready to share their next warning and message to the “Younger Brother.” We are the “Younger Brother” who are destroying the Earth and causing an ecological imbalance that may affect future generations to come.
Who are they?
The Kogi are the direct descendants of the Tayrona civilization. The Tayrona culture flourished in Northern Colombia around 1,000 AD. They left behind stunning gold artwork, stone and pottery artifacts and an amazing network of brick roads covering the Sierra Nevada. Kogi society has changed little in the past five centuries. They survived as a culture because the Kogi focus all their energy on the life of the mind as opposed to the life of a body or an individual. Fundamental to that survival is the maintenance of physical separation from their world and our own. The Kogi do not allow anyone into their land. They are very protective of their sacred space and the dense jungle is not kind to tourists.
As of 2006, it is estimated there are 12,000 Kogi’s left.
Where do they live?
The Kogi live in the higher regions of the Sierra Nevada. Many self-sustaining communities are on the Western part of the Mountain accessible through Valledupar, which is located in the State of Cesar. The Sierra Nevada is the highest coastal mountain in the world only 26 miles from the beach. It is located near the Equator, which means it has no seasons. Day and night are of equal length all year round. It has every eco-system in its 17,000 km2 area. The highest peek is the Pico Simon Bolivar at 5,775 mtrs. So in this mountain area all the eco-systems of earth are present creating a mini earth. From the sea the mountain goes straight to snow capped peaks.
Why are they unique?
The Kogi represent the most complete surviving civilization of pre-Columbian America. They are not hunter-gatherers or a wondering tribe. They are a nation whose fields have been continuously cultivated for more than a thousand years.
The Kogi believe they are the “Elder Brothers,” the guardians of life on Earth. Through their mind power and meditation they keep the world in balance. They live in “Aluna,” an inner world of thought and potential. They are now concerned because their Mountain is dying.
Everything about their history and religion is passed down through oral instructions and their lives are run by the spiritual leaders or Shamans named “Mamas.” The Kogi Mamas are chosen from birth and spend the first nine years of childhood in a cave in total darkness learning the ancient secrets of the spiritual world or Aluna. They are the priests and judges who control Kogi society. All major decisions and shamanic work is done by Divination. All is the world of Aluna, so the Mamas see a reflection of the physical world first in the spiritual world. If Aluna is the Mother, then the Kogi listen to the Mother by divining. This lost technique of divination is what keeps the Kogi world in balance and order. The Mamas are worried that the “Younger Brother” has not heeded the first warning. If the Sierra Nevada or the Mother dies, the world will also die.
Of unique importance is that the Kogi are a peaceful tribe that have never killed one of their own and rarely intermarry. They never grow gray hair and have no facial hair. They can spend 9 days awake without sleep during their ceremonial rites.
They are now beginning to learn Spanish because they realize the importance of communicating with the outside world. They also need to understand the Colombian Government’s laws regarding the Sierra Nevada, which was named a Historical Heritage by UNESCO and a National Park by the Colombian Government.
This past Oct, 2006 we formed an alliance with the UNPD in Bogota and will be helping raise funds and awareness for a campaign to buy their sacred land back.
The Kogi have a lot to teach us. Are we ready to listen?

Mercury Transit Today 2:12 pm EST
Mercury will glide across our Sun... a magical day.
See it live today ...2:00 pm exact at 2:15...
http://www.exploratorium.edu/transit
http://sunearthday.nasa.gov/2007/events/mercurytransit.php

http://astroday.net/MercTransit06.html
Dear Family of Light,
Have you felt the energy in the sky, did you know a comet dove into our Sun on Nov 5th, did the past full moon in Taurus -Scorpio knock u out? Is the Universe out of site? Well hold on tight now we have another sign in the sky night or sunset, where ever u are
Nov 8th, tomorrow a major significant celestial event will take place in our solar system. Mercury the closest planet to the sun, the communicator, the iron core dwarf will cross the face of the Sun.
The first bite of Mercury appears on the solar disk's edge at 2:12 P.M. EST (11:12 A.M. PST). This moment is called "first contact," and it signifies the transit's start. People throughout North and South America and in Hawaii will witness this stage. About 2 minutes later, Mercury's entire disk appears against the Sun's face — second contact. Over the following 4 hours and 54 minutes, Mercury's dark silhouette traverses the Sun's southern hemisphere. At Mercury's distance of 63 million miles from Earth, the planet's 3,000-mile-wide disk spans a mere 10".
Mercury reaches the midpoint of the transit at 4:41 P.M. EST (1:41 P.M. PST), and the Sun sets soon after along the U.S. eastern seaboard.
The transit's end will be visible only from west of the Rocky Mountains. Third contact occurs at 4:08 P.M. PST, followed 2 minutes later by the transit's conclusion. Residents of Hawaii and New Zealand can see the entire event. The transit's final stages can be viewed from Australia, Japan, and eastern Asia, where the Sun rises with the transit in progress.
Mercury transits can occur only in May or November, when the planet crosses the ecliptic plane. And they happen rarely — 13 or 14 times per century. The next Mercury transit occurs May 9, 2016.
Mercury will track closer to the Sun's center during this month's transit. So imagine our Sun and your inner sun being awakened by a cosmic beeper. We still have the effect of the Ultra Violet meditation of Oct 17 and my feeling is anything can happen suddenly. Be ever ready and flow like a river. Who are we but the ones who use the energy to shift the planet to a higher plane
Remember Venus...This transit takes place 2 years 5 months and some twelve hours after the Venus transit of June 8, 2004. One observation of the possible effects of the Venus transit involved the unusual and difficult blooming pattern seen in yarrow plants in the following year. Perhaps other plant species which are thought to relate to the planet Venus were also affected, but certainly, the yarrow definitely seemed to be experiencing problems. One could presume that with a Mercury transit, we might observe chamomile plants very closely to see if they experience a similar difficulty in their growth patterns, since chamomile is almost universally seen as having a connection to the planet Mercury. A Mercury transit takes place with approximately thirteen to fourteen transits each century while a Venus transits occurs with approximately the same thirteen to fourteen transits each 1000 years.
The transit of Mercury may well have an effect on the Warmth forces emanating from the Sun, especially if Mercury has the same capability of "eating up the light" from the Sun that Rudolf Steiner ascribed to a Venus transit. If that capability exists, Mercury's smaller size may diminish its effect well below the effect that Venus may have had. It will be interesting to see whether the Mercury transit results in an increase or a decrease of Warmth forces over the next few months.
(Source from Susan Weed)
So what to do, become the planet Mercury. An ancient God from Greek times.
The principal holiday for the merchant god was Mercuralia, May 15th. Among the Celtics and Germans existed cults of Mercury worshippers.
As one of the five "moving stars" or "planets", Mercury's name is the origin of "Wednesday." In French, this is 'mercredi', coming from the Latin 'Mercurii dies', or Mercury's day.
WORK HISTORY
Hermes served as messenger for Zeus (though sometimes he job-shares with Iris, the goddess of the dawn) and as sometime conductor of souls of the dead to Hades. He was also known as "the guide and giver of good." As one of Jupiter's favorites (as Mercury) he was considered the most entertaining, the most shrewd and the most resourceful god. When Jupiter tired of Olympus, he chose Mercury to accompany him on forays to Earth, both disguised as mortals.
In his job as messenger, he wears a broad-rimmed traveller's hat called a petasos or petasus, talaria or winged sandals made "of imperishable gold which bore him swift as a breath of air over sea and earth," and carries a cadeuceus or herald's staff around which serpents or ribbons may be found. The cadeuceus is said to be able to charm men's eyes to sleep. He also carries a purse (more like a money-bag actually....). The purse signifies his role as the Greek god of riches, trade and good fortune and the Roman god of trade, profit, merchants and travelers. He took over the latter job from the Dei Lucre, early Roman deities of commerce. Hermes also changed his name to Mercury. Among his personal favorite commercial activities was the corn trade. Mercury's relationship to business and speed survive in words like "mercurial" and mercantile." Because of his speed he is sometimes considered a god of the winds.
To the Babylonians he was viewed as the bearer of riches. To the astrologers of the Renaissance he was the bringer of misfortune.
SYMBOL
Mercury's `corporate logo' is often described as representing the messenger's cadeuceus or wand with two snakes curled around it. In some versions of the logo's origin it is said to be Mercury in his winged hat or petasos.
TRADE NAMES
To the Germans he was Wodan.
To the Greeks he was also known as Alipes (the one with winged feet).
To the pre-Roman Etruscans he was Turms, guide of the deceased to the underworld, and messenger of the gods.
To the Egyptians he was known as messenger of the gods Thoth. As such he was the origin of the deity Hermes Trismegistus, or "Thrice-great Hermes." The three part title comes from this version of Hermes being the Greek writer of astrological texts and responsible for occult arts including alchemy, and the Egyptian god who invented hieroglyphics and calendar-keeping and also judged the souls of the deceased.
To the Sumerians he was Gud, a god favoring welcome rains, agricultural fertility and harvest abundance.
To the Assyrians he was Nabu, the "herald." Instead of being the messenger of the gods, he was the heavenly secretary, keeping track of the words of the gods. This also made him the Assyrian god of knowledge and the recorder of fate for people for the next year.
So use your imagination and be the messenger for the world.
Take time and talk with God and let go of the fears. You have many riches within and time to reap the harvest of good thoughts.
Enjoy the times we are in as U are the time clock and time traveler.
From the heart,

On November 8, 2006, Mercury will slowly slide across the face of the sun during an event known as a transit. A transit of Mercury is relatively rare—there are only about a dozen in a century.
The Exploratorium’s Live@ crew will be at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, and, with the Kitt Peak staff, will Webcast the transit: a live five-hour telescope-only feed beginning at 11:00 am PST.
The transit will take place from 11:12 a.m. PST until 4:10 p.m. PST and will be visible from the Pacific, the Americas, eastern Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, although some locations will not be able to see the entire transit. Because of Mercury’s diminutive size, the transit cannot be seen with the unaided eye, but it can be viewed with a telescope (with the proper filter) or with a homemade optical projector.

The Comet story ---
DEATH PLUNGE: Yesterday, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) caught a comet plunging toward the sun. It went in--but not out again. The sungrazing comet disintegrated like an ice cube in an oven. See the movie: large, small.
TRANSIT OF MERCURY: On Wednesday, Nov. 8th, Mercury will transit the sun, crossing from one side of the star to the other in just five hours. En route, it might eclipse sunspot 921. Greg Piepol of Rockville, Maryland, prepared this animation showing the path of Mercury and the expected position of the sunspot on Nov. 8th:
In Greg's simulation, the background image is real. He took it on Nov. 3rd using his Coronado SolarMax90. The photo was rotated just as the sun spins to move the sunspot into position for the transit. Bulls-eye! 921 is going to provide a pleasing backdrop for Mercury's journey across the sun.

Dear Family of Light,
Have you felt the energy in the sky, did you know a comet dove into our Sun on Nov 5th, did the past full moon in Taurus -Scorpio knock u out? Is the Universe out of site? Well hold on tight now we have another sign in the sky night or sunset, where ever u are
Nov 8th, tomorrow a major significant celestial event will take place in our solar system. Mercury the closest planet to the sun, the communicator, the iron core dwarf will cross the face of the Sun.
The first bite of Mercury appears on the solar disk's edge at 2:12 P.M. EST (11:12 A.M. PST). This moment is called "first contact," and it signifies the transit's start. People throughout North and South America and in Hawaii will witness this stage. About 2 minutes later, Mercury's entire disk appears against the Sun's face — second contact. Over the following 4 hours and 54 minutes, Mercury's dark silhouette traverses the Sun's southern hemisphere. At Mercury's distance of 63 million miles from Earth, the planet's 3,000-mile-wide disk spans a mere 10".
Mercury reaches the midpoint of the transit at 4:41 P.M. EST (1:41 P.M. PST), and the Sun sets soon after along the U.S. eastern seaboard.
The transit's end will be visible only from west of the Rocky Mountains. Third contact occurs at 4:08 P.M. PST, followed 2 minutes later by the transit's conclusion. Residents of Hawaii and New Zealand can see the entire event. The transit's final stages can be viewed from Australia, Japan, and eastern Asia, where the Sun rises with the transit in progress.
Mercury transits can occur only in May or November, when the planet crosses the ecliptic plane. And they happen rarely — 13 or 14 times per century. The next Mercury transit occurs May 9, 2016.
Mercury will track closer to the Sun's center during this month's transit. So imagine our Sun and your inner sun being awakened by a cosmic beeper. We still have the effect of the Ultra Violet meditation of Oct 17 and my feeling is anything can happen suddenly. Be ever ready and flow like a river. Who are we but the ones who use the energy to shift the planet to a higher plane
Remember Venus...This transit takes place 2 years 5 months and some twelve hours after the Venus transit of June 8, 2004. One observation of the possible effects of the Venus transit involved the unusual and difficult blooming pattern seen in yarrow plants in the following year. Perhaps other plant species which are thought to relate to the planet Venus were also affected, but certainly, the yarrow definitely seemed to be experiencing problems. One could presume that with a Mercury transit, we might observe chamomile plants very closely to see if they experience a similar difficulty in their growth patterns, since chamomile is almost universally seen as having a connection to the planet Mercury. A Mercury transit takes place with approximately thirteen to fourteen transits each century while a Venus transits occurs with approximately the same thirteen to fourteen transits each 1000 years.
The transit of Mercury may well have an effect on the Warmth forces emanating from the Sun, especially if Mercury has the same capability of "eating up the light" from the Sun that Rudolf Steiner ascribed to a Venus transit. If that capability exists, Mercury's smaller size may diminish its effect well below the effect that Venus may have had. It will be interesting to see whether the Mercury transit results in an increase or a decrease of Warmth forces over the next few months.

So what to do, become the planet Mercury. An ancient God from Greek times.
The principal holiday for the merchant god was Mercuralia, May 15th. Among the Celtics and Germans existed cults of Mercury worshippers.
As one of the five "moving stars" or "planets", Mercury's name is the origin of "Wednesday." In French, this is 'mercredi', coming from the Latin 'Mercurii dies', or Mercury's day.
WORK HISTORY
Hermes served as messenger for Zeus (though sometimes he job-shares with Iris, the goddess of the dawn) and as sometime conductor of souls of the dead to Hades. He was also known as "the guide and giver of good." As one of Jupiter's favorites (as Mercury) he was considered the most entertaining, the most shrewd and the most resourceful god. When Jupiter tired of Olympus, he chose Mercury to accompany him on forays to Earth, both disguised as mortals.
In his job as messenger, he wears a broad-rimmed traveller's hat called a petasos or petasus, talaria or winged sandals made "of imperishable gold which bore him swift as a breath of air over sea and earth," and carries a cadeuceus or herald's staff around which serpents or ribbons may be found. The cadeuceus is said to be able to charm men's eyes to sleep. He also carries a purse (more like a money-bag actually....). The purse signifies his role as the Greek god of riches, trade and good fortune and the Roman god of trade, profit, merchants and travelers. He took over the latter job from the Dei Lucre, early Roman deities of commerce. Hermes also changed his name to Mercury. Among his personal favorite commercial activities was the corn trade. Mercury's relationship to business and speed survive in words like "mercurial" and mercantile." Because of his speed he is sometimes considered a god of the winds.
To the Babylonians he was viewed as the bearer of riches. To the astrologers of the Renaissance he was the bringer of misfortune.
SYMBOL
Mercury's `corporate logo' is often described as representing the messenger's cadeuceus or wand with two snakes curled around it. In some versions of the logo's origin it is said to be Mercury in his winged hat or petasos.
TRADE NAMES
To the Germans he was Wodan.
To the Greeks he was also known as Alipes (the one with winged feet).
To the pre-Roman Etruscans he was Turms, guide of the deceased to the underworld, and messenger of the gods.
To the Egyptians he was known as messenger of the gods Thoth. As such he was the origin of the deity Hermes Trismegistus, or "Thrice-great Hermes." The three part title comes from this version of Hermes being the Greek writer of astrological texts and responsible for occult arts including alchemy, and the Egyptian god who invented hieroglyphics and calendar-keeping and also judged the souls of the deceased.
To the Sumerians he was Gud, a god favoring welcome rains, agricultural fertility and harvest abundance.
To the Assyrians he was Nabu, the "herald." Instead of being the messenger of the gods, he was the heavenly secretary, keeping track of the words of the gods. This also made him the Assyrian god of knowledge and the recorder of fate for people for the next year.
So use your imagination and be the messenger for the world.
Take time and talk with God and let go of the fears. You have many riches within and time to reap the harvest of good thoughts.
Enjoy the times we are in as U are the time clock and time traveler.
From the heart,
Lucho
